Burnt Offering

Burnt Offering, the new album from THE BUDOS BAND, is a wild, booze-fuelled ride of hazy riffs, take-no-prisoners horn lines and relentless percussion that summons the occult  an evolved sound for this mighty 10-piece band sparked by their love of Black Sabbath and Pentagram. Says Pitchfork of THE BUDOS BAND: 'So tight and in tune that they've basically become this telepathically-communicating instrumental hydra that ambushes you into moving your body on its terms.' Burnt Offering was recorded live in the studio, engineered and produced by Tom Brenneck, a founding member and guitarist in THE BUDOS BAND who runs Dunham Records and Studios and has worked with Cee-lo Green, The Black Lips and more. It was written at the bands longtime Staten Island studio, where theyve gathered for weekly rehearsals for over fifteen years. The haunting album cover was created by drummer Brian Profilio, a NYC public school art teacher. The new album is dripping with the psychedelic sounds of early heavy metal fused with the tight-knit propulsion of Fela Kuti. The Sticks kicks off with a snarling riff seamlessly doubled on bass and guitar and unfurls into sludgy breakdowns and searing guitars. The title track was recorded with a Binson Echorec, a classic tape machine also used by Pink Floyd / Syd Barrett.
